Bob,

Thanks for the thought, That's pretty much what I have done. The shade I am using is a slightly dinged shade from an old Tak 85 mm, but I can't see it when at 28 mm. Some of this old glass is worth more as play toys and parts that as sales objects. When I really get wild I take a B&W cartridge out of the freezer, and go analog.

Regards,

John / WA1JG

John,
Try anything you can screw into the front threads.
A 50mm shade may work ok because of the smaller sensor.
If you had a plastic 50mm, you might be able to cut it down.

Does anybody have a Pentax  lens shade for the FA 28-80 f 3.5-4.7 Zoom that
they are willing to sell?  I am currently using a short shade that doesn't
always completely shade later in the day.  I know that shooting into the sun
in the afternoon is not the brightest thing to do. But a longer shade would
be nice.  The one I have is from an older Takumar 85 mm lens and is only 1
1/4" deep.  If not, are there any shades out there that I can look for that
would fit and provide better shading?

Thanks in advance.
